Section Formula CBSE NCERT Solutions Chapter 7 Exercise 7.2 Question 4
4. Find the ratio in which the line segment joining the points (-3, 10) and (6, -8) is divided by (-1, 6).
Solution:
Let (-1, 6) divides line segment joining the points (-3, 10) and (6, -8) in k:1
Using Section formula, we can say that
-1 = ((-3).1 + 6.k)/(k+1)
Therefore, the ratio is
which is equivalent to 2:7
Therefore, (-1, 6) divides line segment joining the points (-3, 10) and (6, -8) in 2:7
